How do I use a RPM file?? I am trying to install Java support, because I have to help run my brother online game party (blech!) and I need 8 working computers with Java. My personal computer would be number 8.
According to the file manager thing (whatever it is called) I have a file called j2re-1_4_2_03-linux-i586-rpm.bin and I double clicked on it, and it popped up a bunch of texty cobbledygook. I even went as far as to go into the terminal window and type "rpm j2re-1_4_2_03-linux-i586-rpm.bin". I got a list of about 350 options of letters that I could use.
Needless to say, I am extremely confused. Can anyone tell me what to do?
